Review on πŸ“» Retevis RT27 Walkie Talkies: Rechargeable, Heavy-Duty Two-Way Radios for Adults - 5 Pack" by Chris Durandis

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Easy to use for kids. Excellent assortment!

Great radios for kids! It definitely doesn't look like cheap character walkie-talkies. They have good range - managed to get a signal 1.75 miles away for short periods when there were a lot of houses/trees in the way. The signal didn't last long, but I didn't try all the channels to get it back. I was surprised that we could even contact each other from such a distance. Channel switching is very simple. The walkie-talkie has a knob that you turn to turn it on, and if you keep turning the knob, it changes channels with an audible voice telling you which channel you're on when you stop. We also bought some cheaper Retevis radios that have a menu button, lock button, etc. I've always had trouble figuring out how to change channels on them. The dial up channel changer is great and easy for kids to use. I also like that they are rechargeable so you don't have to constantly buy new batteries. If you accidentally leave them on, they'll start beeping when the battery is low so you don't forget to plug them in and turn them off. Also comes with a belt clip that you can attach if you wish. Great gift for kids when they're roaming the neighborhood with friends and you want to stay connected!
